Aaron Beck’s cognitive therapy sprouts from his first observation of the automatic thoughts (Beck 1996). Individuals have automatic thoughts that spontaneously manifest ideas to themselves, but these ideas are not the type of ideas that one would make public. In addition, automatic thoughts affects our emotions and behaviors as we “feel” those beliefs to be correct According to Beck (1996), “This type of internal system is related to self-evaluation, thinking about what other people think of you, self-monitoring, self-predictions, and so on” (p. 277).
